Exhibit 36
Description:
EXHIBIT 36

BARRINGTON AMARILLO LICENSE LLC ('BARRINGTON'), LICENSEE OF KVIH-TV, CLOVIS, NEW MEXICO, RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS EXTENSION OF ITS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO MAINTAIN ITS EXISTING DIGITAL FACILITY ON CHANNEL 20, FILE NO. BDSTA-20090513ADW, FOR A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS.

BARRINGTON IS NEAR COMPLETION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF ITS FINAL DTV FACILITY ON CHANNEL 12, FILE NO. BMPCDT-20090206AEI, AND IT EXPECTS TO OPERATE THAT FACILITY UNDER PROGRAM TEST AUTHORITY ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 12, 2009. HOWEVER, BARRINGTON HAS EXPERIENCED A COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTING THE FIBER PATH BETWEEN KVIH-TV AND ITS PARENT STATION, KVII-TV, WHICH PROVIDES SOME OF THE PROGRAMMING FOR KVIH-TV. THE STATION INTENDS TO APPLY IMMINENTLY FOR AN AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE AN ICR SYSTEM THAT WILL DELIVER THIS PROGRAMMING TO THE KVIH-TV TRANSMISSION SITE.

ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE STATION'S PROGRAMMING WILL BE AVAILABLE WHEN THE STATION COMMENCES OPERATION OF ITS FINAL DTV FACILITY, CERTAIN PROGRAMMING WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE. IN ORDER TO ENSURE CONTINUED DELIVERY OF THIS ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING TO ITS COMMUNITY, BARRINGTON RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS EXTENSION OF ITS AUTHORITY TO OPERATE ITS EXISTING TEMPORARY CHANNEL 20 FACILITY, IN ADDITION TO THE FINAL CHANNEL 12 FACILITY, FOR A BRIEF PERIOD WHILE THE ICR SYSTEM IS AUTHORIZED AND CONSTRUCTED.
